Why do street photography?

*Author’s note: The following are my reflections and realizations as to why I enjoy street photography. These are from the 2 years of experience I had with film photography and my undying passion for the street because there is perhaps no other genre of photography that captivated me and made me grow as a photographer. I am writing this as a reminder of why I do street and to urge others to give street photography a try.

Just a Christmas greeting :)

Just want to greet you all a very merry christmas!
and great Jesus a happy birthday

That one’s a christmas village in my favourite place ortigas center. The Meralco office. Not my best photo, but this was part of my first 1,000 photos. Just like what HCB said, they are bound to suck!

I apologize for not really posting anything.
Our ISP got a little wonky and our connection disappeared for a few weeks.

For now, expect more street photography, a lot more tips, and now that i’m using ubuntu I might do a recap on how ubuntu can help your photography.

Thanks much and merry christmas

How an iPhone/iPod Touch can help you in your photography

A couple of months ago when we the family visited Hong Kong, I was actually looking for a Leica IIIc hoping I could find a bargain. It turns out the price ranges there for Analog cameras is in the upper ranges in what you would find in Ebay. Feeling down while we were at the airport, I decided to look around the duty free area and I saw that they already have the Third Gen Ipod touch.

The Difference between shooting black and white and color

My friend Joao told me something interesting a couple of months ago and I never thought it would be applicable to the recent Hong Kong trip I had with my family:

These should have been on Flickr

Commie Camera Day 09′

I know it was a bit late…
but it was the 1st time I participated in an international photo event and when I got my rolls processed after 3 months (I had to starve myself just to have those things developed… darn.) I found out that the flickr group was already closed. Sucks to be me so here are some of the things I got from May 1, 2009 Commie Camera Day.

The Maiden Post

So… this will be my maiden post at agdemesaphoto.com

My name A.g. and the online handle I use in most websites/forums is selloutboy or selloutboy47.

Looooong story, but the short of it is that I was supposed to be a Humanities Major but ended up in marketing.

Sometimes I regret it but there is only so much you can do with the thing you love and the thing you are capable of.

Ok i’m boring you… So far, I only have 2 articles for this site, one for the FED 5V and Zorki C which can be accessed in the cameras page in the tabs above. However, I don’t have pictures of the cams yet… will promise to upload them by the end of the week.

For now, since I don’t have anything yet, add me up on Twitter or Flickr.

Come back here a few days and i’ll make sure you have something to read

thanks much!
